Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. We were friends since high school. We shared so many laughs and tears. Happy times and sad. I will always treasure the memories of our good times and be thankful to have had her in my life

  2. I am so sorry to hear this . I loved her she was so kind and sweet. A Beautiful Person . She is with her Billy

  3. Since first grade at Cathedral thru high school at St. Bernard Academy we felt like two sides of the same coin. The world is far darker now that her light is gone. I am sure there is another star in the sky shining down on all of us who loved her; twinkling right next to Billy’s and they are laughing together again

  4. Angela Drennan/Grammy was my great grandma
    I loved her so much. She is always by my side even right now.
    She will always be in my heart.
